Exhibition & Shop

A visit to The Perth Mint is an essential part of any tourist’s visit to Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. The opportunity to see inside a working mint is combined with a variety of attractions, including a guided tour, a fascinating gold exhibition, the ability to mint-you-own-medallion and the world’s only 1 tonne pure gold coin. Perhaps the greatest highlights are the molten gold pour and the Shop where visitors can purchase stunning coins, natural nuggets, diamond rings and other fabulous jewellery as timeless reminders of time spent in the “Golden State”.
